Back from an amazing sun filled 10 days in this beautiful place. Here is our honest opinion that I hope will help anyone who is thinking of going. The place is huge. Much bigger than it looks on pics and Youtube videos. We researched it a lot before we made the decision to go. But was still suprised. Its a really beautiful place. The interior is literally like a palace. Hence the name. Reception areas and Lobby are are laid out in a way that reminds me of a furniture warehouse. All very relaxing to be in with background music. 2 bars in this area, Lobby Bar (24Hours) and a sit around bar thats great for cocktails. Lobby bar has girls running around bringing you drinks and making sure your glass is never empty. (Please tip to show your appreciation). They also bring you crisps and nuts. There is an outside seating area to the Lobby Bar, also with a bar and waiters. Also on this floor is the Pattisare and Bistro also 24 hours, you never go hungry here. Food in both are spot on, cakes, biscuits, sandwiches, fruit, soups and hot food. Cheesecake is to die for. Lower ground floor has main restuarant, games room, gym, inside pool and Spa. With shops on the way out to the pool area. The prices in these shops are a bit more expensive to the ones outside. But that usually the case. The pool areas are huge and done in a way that really is very pleasing to be in. There is a central bridge walkway over the pool with off shoots both sides to different areas. We chose to sit on the left side as this was quieter than on the right as that side had the enteratainment team area. The girl on the left side bringing drinks to you all day making sure your were never without a drink must walk miles everyday. She deserves a pat on the back, so a big thank you to Meltem. To the left there is a really big enclosed pool bar with loads of seating. Ideal to escape the sun. Further along is the adult slides and the Snack Restaurant. Snack Restaurant does food to order. Can recommend the Pasta and Kentucky Style chicken. But all the food in here looked great. To the right is the new childrens pool & slides, then the food court area with the amphitheatre behind it. The food court has lots of kiosks serving you Pizza, Kebab, Baked Potatoes, Waffles, Churos, Ice Cream, Sandwiches and Toasted Sandwiches and Another bar. There is also Ping Pong tables and seating area. Further along the walkway on the right is the Fish Ala Carte Restaurant and the pancake hut. And further still leads to the Beach and Pier. The pier also has another bar. It seems everywhere you look there is a place for food or drink. You cerrtainly dont have to go far. The food in all of the places was of high standard and plentiful The main Restaurant has different theme nights including Mexican, Chinese, Italian and Fish. All were well thought out and made a great change. So much so we didnt use any Ala Carte Restaurants or feel the need to eat out. Weve read different comments about food being bland and repetitive, but we found the food to be both delicious and high quality. Over the 10 days we had Steak, Veal, Turkey, Lamb Shanks, Sea Bass, Sea Bream, Tuna, Salmon, Salads galore and so many different Sweets and Pastries. There is so much choice you will never go without finding something you like. Must say our waiter for our table went over and above board to make our visits to the restaurant very special. Always had our table ready with a bottle of wine waiting. He was very pleasant and couldnt do enough for us. So a big thank you goes to Ashkin. The Royal Holiday Palace is that much better to have staff like him there. All of the staff here are polite, friendly and will do anything for you. Cleaning staff, Bar Staff, Entertainment Team, Photographers, Restaurant Staff. All make the place a bit more special. We had read before that some were rude and miserable. We didnt find that at all. The hotel puts on different entertainment during the day and every evening. The entertainment team keeping all who wanted to join in very happy, but also leaving those alone who didnt want to. Massive foam party in the pool on a wednesday and big festival style disco on a Friday evening. Big hello to Borat and Omar who always made time to chat as we sat on our sun loungers. Both very funny in their way of trying to get us to join in. We politely declined (far too old to keep up with them lol). The room we had was a Deluxe Standard. Very big room. Very comfortable for 2 people. Everything you need. Yes the rooms are a bit dated. Some people didnt like the fact it is carpeted. But that didnt bother us. Big fitted wardrobe, great bathroom, quite a big balcony. We were in room 1541 on the front of the building overlooking Seginus. Some people have said it was noisy. But with doors shut it didnt bother us. I think ive covered most of it. It certainly was a holiday to remember and cant wait to go back
